This project, deeply rooted in the site's essence, views the house as a tool to unveil natural events, prioritizing contemplation. Showcasing local craftsmanship, pavilions employ materials harmonizing with the land. Masonry volumes on concrete connect visually, while wooden palapas create private terraces. The central pavilion frames the Pacific Ocean and Oaxacan mountains, linking the project with diverse contexts, complemented by interstitial spaces for contemplation.
